A "six-pointer" tonight

OMG we have reached the second last day of January, nearly at the end of the “window” and well into the second half of season 2025-2026.

January has been a bit of a rollercoaster for the team and the supporters both in the league and the cup matches.

However, tonight is as the TV pundits put it, a “six-pointer” at McDiarmid Park Perth.

Hopefully you got a seat on one of the supporter’s buses for the 120-mile round trip. But don’t worry if for any reason you are unable to travel this evening due to ill health, on holiday soaking up the sun somewhere in the world or you only go to home games at Firhill.

You can sit in the comfort of your home and watch (through your fingers or from behind the couch) the team on BBC Scotland Sportscene 19:30 -22:00.

All the Best to the players and management team to produce a great spectacle and win for the Jags Fans, no matter where they are watching!

2026 is Partick Thistle 150th Anniversary Year with lots of events taking place.

Many of you purchased the special Season Ticket “Jags for Generations”.

There is a lunch at the Radison Blu (£75 pp) on 1 March 2026.

Don’t miss your opportunity to be seen in print “Partick Thistle – A People’s History”.

There are still a few gaps to be filled so send your stories to 150@ptfc.co.uk about your experiences of being a Jags fan, family links, travelling on the supporters’ buses and many other great life events.

Shareholders of Partick Thistle FC have been advised that the Annual General Meeting will take place on Thursday 12 February 2026 in the Alan Rough lounge at 7:30pm.

Partick Thistle Legend - Jimmy Bone

Friday nights football at The Wyre Stadium Firhill began with a rousing round of applause in remembrance of Jimmy Bone a Thistle Legend who passed away at the beginning of September 2025.

The North Stand TIFO reminded us all of Jimmy’s integral part in the historic event and win over Glasgow Celtic in the League Cup at Hampden in 1971.

Jimmy had a fulsome football career in Scotland, England and around the world. As his playing career drew to a close, he took up coaching with many clubs across the UK and overseas, scouted for some and managed others, including Thistle in 2007.

This morning, 15 September 2025, a service of celebration for Jimmy’s life will take place at Falkirk Crematorium at 11:30am. All family and friends are respectfully invited.

The service will be accessible via live stream, the link details can be found on Roy & McIntyre Funeral Home https://www.wesleymedia.co.uk/webcast-view

We send our condolences to Jimmy’s wife and family and all his friends.

Season 2025-2026 begins today at Perth

A new month and a new season start today at Perth.

The close season was brief for the new management team and the players before they were back at training.

The past six weeks have resulted in incredibly positive results for Thistle.

Friendlies played at Glenafton and Petershill found us with two wins out of two.

The Premier Sports Cup closely followed on their heels and Thistle finishing with full points and top of their group. What more could we wish for but a home draw in the second round (weekend of 16/17 August 2025). The gods smiled on us with a home game against Ayr United on Saturday 16 August 2025.

This is a busy time for supporters as we get to know our best team and new style; decide which of the new strips we like and get along to Greaves to kit ourselves out. Most importantly buy our Season Tickets prior to next Saturday (9th) home game against Morton.

Season Ticket details are on www.ptfc.co.uk and provide Flexible Payment plan if required.

Season Tickets for Adults, Students, Over 65s and Under 12s are available now:

As we approach our 150th Anniversary you can add-on “Jags for Generations” to your season ticket providing you with special offers.

Please give your support to Your Fan Owned Club, to Mark Wilson manager and Alex Rae assistant manager and all the players by purchasing a season ticket for the upcoming 2025/2026 season.

Thank you for your continued support.

Once A Jag Always a Jag!   

 

Red and Yellow Forever!

The Jags Trust, like members of the wider Thistle family locally and around the world, were saddened to hear of the death of Robert Reid.

Robert very recently celebrated his 90th birthday. He was a gentleman who always had time to stop and chat with young and old as he walked from his car to the front door of the Jackie Husband Stand. He was happy to engage you in conversation about the team and ask how you thought they were doing; ask if you had been or were travelling to the next away match; or enquire how you and your family were keeping. This short distance to walk must have taken an earth of time to cover.

Robert had many strings to his bow at Partick Thistle an author, Honorary Club President, Club Historian and Stadium Tour Guide for those in hospitality, an author, and of course he took a pivotal role in the Save the Jags campaign to ensure our football club survived as he was the ultimate fan.

Tomorrow, (Wed 9th) will see Robert make his final journey to his spiritual home Firhill (10:15am) giving Jags fans the opportunity to pay their respects and say their goodbyes. The cortege will then cross the River Clyde returning to the southside and make its way to the Linn Crematorium 11am service. Thereafter a reception will be held in the Alan Rough Lounge at the Wyre Stadium Firhill.

Our deepest condolences are sent to Roberts family and friends at this very sad time. We hope they can take strength from the support and tributes of the Club and Thistle Supporters.

Once a Jag Always a Jag!

It's a tough league!

Business end of the season!

 

2025 has been an interesting second half to the 2024-2025 season in the Championship for Thistle.

 

  1. It started with changes of playing personnel during the January window.

 

  1. Then the management team changed.

 

  1. The physio’s table has been really busy with numerous injured players.

 

  1. A Sporting Director was appointed.

 

  1. Thistle was sitting comfortably in the top 4, the last of the play off places, for the fourth year in succession.

 

But in true Thistle fashion the points gap between fourth and fifth place fizzled away and the battle is on!

 

Friday night football is always well supported by Jags fans. For the final home game, the team navigated the ninety minutes and appeared to be taking one point. Doing it the Thistle way, in the 97th minute, of the 90 +6, a massive goal scored and all three points were ours.  

24 hours had to pass until the rest of the Championship results were available, showing a two-point gap had appeared. Light at the end of the tunnel, and not a train coming the other way.

 

Thistle has everything to play for!

 

As we all know the final game of this competitive league is away from home.

Thistles travelling support has been immense throughout the season, colourful and noisy. We always travel in large numbers and always with hope!

 

Don’t forget to book your seat on one of the supporters’ buses to travel in comfort and with other Jags supporters. Contact details are on the Club website.

Save yourself the stress of driving along the M8 and trying to find a parking place.

 

Don’t worry, you will not miss out if you are an armchair supporter somewhere around Scotland or the world, the game is on BBC iPlayer and BBC Sport Website, kick off 19:45.

 

The management and players are very clear “it’s in their hands”.

 

If the stars align then Thistle will be playing on Tuesday 6 & Friday 9 May 2025.

Fingers crossed!
